  • Meg Webb and Department of Treasury and Finance

    The Honourable Meg Webb MLC is the Member for Nelson in the Legislative Council.  On 3 June 2024, she submitted an application for assessed disclosure under s13 of the Right to Information Act 2009 (the Act) to the Department of Treasury and Finance (the Department). She sought information relating to the proposed universal player card gambling system for poker machines.

    The Department relied on ss31, 35, 36 and 37 of the Act to exempt some information. Ms Webb sought internal review and the Department largely maintained its position on internal review.  Ms Webb sought external review.

    The Ombudsman determined:

    • exemptions claimed pursuant to ss31, 35 and 36 were varied; and
    • the exemption claimed pursuant to s37 was not made out.

  • Meg Webb and Department of Treasury and Finance

    The Hon. Meg Webb MLC is an independent member of the Parliament of Tasmania, representing the electorate of Nelson in the Legislative Council.  On 19 July 2021 she made an application to the Department of Treasury and Finance (the Department) for assessed disclosure under the Right to Information Act 2009 (the Act) seeking information regarding the Premier’s Economic and Social Recovery Advisory Council (PESRAC).

    The Department initially refused the request as it claimed it was a repeat pursuant to s20(a) of the Act. However, it agreed to issue a fresh decision and released some information. It relied upon s35 of the Act to exempt other information in the minutes of PESRAC’s meetings as internal deliberative information.  Ms Webb sought external review.

    The Ombudsman determined that the exemptions claimed pursuant to s35 were varied.

  • The Hon. Bryan Green MP and Department of Treasury and Finance

    The applicant sought information about briefings the Department had prepared in relation to GST distribution as a result of the Australian Government budget.   On review the Ombudsman affirmed that much of the information was exempt under s27, s35, and s36 of the Right to Information Act 2009 and that it was contrary to the public interest to disclose this information.  Despite the claims of the Department, names of staff who had prepared and cleared the briefings were not maintained as exempt.
